Icon Suggestion: Briefcase Medical or Stethoscope

Type: Icon Suggestion

📌 Description

It would be really useful to have icons that represent medical professionals or healthcare-related functionality in the Heroicons set. Two strong candidates would be:

1. Briefcase Medical — a variation of the briefcase icon with a medical cross on it. Commonly used to symbolize a doctor's bag or medical services.
2. Stethoscope — a recognizable and universal symbol for doctors and medical practitioners.

💡 Use Cases

• Representing doctors or medical staff in dashboards or apps
• Marking healthcare-related actions or categories (e.g., booking an appointment)
• Healthcare or insurance product UIs
• Microsurvey iconography for healthcare platforms

---

🔍 Inspiration

• Lucide and Font Awesome both support a stethoscope icon.
• Material Icons has medical_services.

Having similar icons in Heroicons would bring parity for developers trying to stick within the Heroicons design system while building health-related applications.

Thanks for considering!

I added stethoscope to Sidekickicons, which are meant to be used as a companion to Heroicons. See it here: https://sidekickicons.com/icons/stethoscope
